“Descendants” is the wildly-popular 2015 Disney Channel original movie about the teenage sons and daughters of Disney’s most infamous villains, and the upcoming sequel just added two new faces to its cast.

Back in October, I was fortunate enough in the audience for the “Descendants” fan event in the Downtown Disney District at Disneyland Resort, where the cast announced the in-progress development of “Descendants 2,” to wild applause from the crowd.
